Not just brands, but software too. The primary software I support at my day job was acquired by a company that, based on their other assets, can be described as where software goes to die. We’re migrating away but they’ll squeeze out what they can from those that don’t/can’t/won’t. But they still have to provide continuous support, some amount of updates to keep customers functioning, and maybe even get some new customers as a “value” option (that’s barely functional). Happens to forums all the time (fuck you Internet Brands and Vertical Scope). 100000x easier to do all this with static web content.
